1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) is an uncommon type of congenital heart disease occurring due to abnormal drainage of one or more, but not all the pulmonary veins to the systemic veins or directly to the right atrium. The PAPVR might have single (to the systemic veins) or dual drainage (to the systemic as well as left atrium). Management depends on the shunt impact on the heart and lungs, and it is usually surgical correction. In case of PAPVR with dual drainage, there is a new trend of percutaneous occlusion of the vertical vein with dual drainage anatomy, so that the blood is obliged to flow to the left atrium as in normal hearts. The scope of this manuscript is to highlight the availability of this alternative option and to present our experience and outcome in 6 PAPVR patients with dual drainage treated using this percutaneous approach.
